PREFACE 


New  N'etiierland,  worthy  Reader,  may  Le 
truly  called,  The  Mother  of  States,  for  her 
Territory  extended  originally  from  the  Chesa- 
peake unto  Cape  Cod.  In  course  of  time,  how- 
ever, the  Connecticut  river  became  her  Northern 
Boundary,  and  so  continued  to  be  until  1650, 
when,  by  the  Treaty  concluded  at  Hartford,  her 
bounds  upon  the  Main  were  fixed  at  the  west 
side  of  Greenwich  bay,  being  about  four  miles 
from  Stamford,  Conn.,  and  upon  Long  Island, 
at  Oysterbay — the  portion  east  of  this  last 
mentioned  locality  belonging  to  the  English, 
and  the  westernmost  part  of  said  Island,  to  the 
Dutch.  Thus,  in  fine,  did  it  come  to  pass,  that 
the  present  States  of  Delaware,  New  Jersey  and 
New  York  are  the  legitimate  and,  we  are  glad 
to  know,  the  prosperous  offspring  of  our  own 
New  Netherland,  which  Henry  Hudson,  then 
in   the  employ  of  the  Dutch  East  India  Com- 


VI  PREFACE. 

pany,  discovered,  as  our  Annals  show,  in  the 
Year  of  Grace,  1609,  long  before  Plymouth 
Rock  was  known. 

Colonization  followed,  and  with  colonization 
came  Civilization,  and  with  civilization,  a  regu- 
lar form  of  g-overnment. 

Who  were  the  Pioneers  in  the  mighty  work 
of  wresting  this  vast  territory  from  Barbarism — 
who  were  they  who  first  established  Churches, 
Courts,  Schools,  and  Hospitals;  introduced 
Agriculture,  Navigation,  and  the  kindred  Arts 
of  civilized  life,  and  thus  laid  the  foundation 
of  Institutions,  which,  multiplying  in  course 
of  years,  have  since  constituted  the  honor,  the 
pride  and  the  glory  of  the  Empire  State? 

Reader,  the  object  of  this  little  Book,  which 
is  commended  to  your  patient  indulgence,  is  to 
rescue  from  oblivion  the  l!^ames  of  those  brave 
and  worthy  Men.      Their  bodies 

"  are  dust, 
And  their  good  swords  are  rust, 
Their  souls  are  with  the  Saints,  we  trust/'

COUNCIL. 

This  body  acted  in  a  twofold  capacity ;  as  an  Executive 
Council  and  as  a  Court  of  Justice.  The  Members  could  not 
be  sued  before,  and  were  not  amenable  to,  a  Court  of  inferior 
jurisdiction.  On  extraordinary  occasions,  it  was  usual  to 
adjoin  some  of  the  Inhabitants  or  Public  Servants  to  the  Board, 
and  the  Captains  of  the  Company's  ships,  when  on  shore,  had 
a  voice  therein.  The  Schout-fiscal  had  a  seat,  but  no  vote,  in 
the  Council;  when  he  acted  as  prosecuting  officer  he  retired 
from  the  Bench.

In  New  Netherland,  he  was  admitted  to  a  seat  in  the  Council 
at  the  mere  pleasure  of  the  Director  Stuyvesant,  who,  he  says, 
excluded  him  twenty-nine  months  from  the  court.  Van  der 
Donck  makes  the  same  statement.  It  would  seem,  however, 
that  he  was  excluded  only  twenty  months  in  New  Nether- 
land. He  held  the  ofl&ce  until  27  March,  1652,  when  he  was

Reprepentcd  ^Innlmtfan?,  Breuckelen,  Amersfoort  and 
Pavonia,  and  the  principal  classes  of  the  community,  viz : 
the  Merchants,  Burghers  and  Agriculturists.  The  duties  of 
this  Board  were:  First,  to  proniofe  the  honor  of  God, 
the  welfare  of  the  country  and  the  preservation  of  the  Re- 
formed Religion,  according  to  the  discipline  of  the  Dutch 
Church.  Second,  to  give  their  opinion  on  matters  submitted 
to  them  by  the  Director  and  Council.  Third,  three  of  the 
nine,  viz :  one  Merchant,  one  Burgher,  one  Farmer,  were 
to  attend  for  a  month  in  rotation  on  the  weekly  Court,  as 
long  as  civil  cases  were  before  it,  and  to  act  subsequently 
as  Referees,  or  Arbitrators  on  cases  referred  to  them.  If  in 
case  of  sickness  or  absence  any  of  these  three  could  not 
attend,  his  place  was  to  be  filled  by  another  of  the  Nine  Men 
of  the  same  class.  Six  retired  from  office  annually,  to  be 
replaced  by  an  equal  number  selected  from  twelve  names 
sent  in  by  the  whole  Board.  They  held  their  sessions  in 
David  Provoost's  School-room,  and  were  the  immediate  pre- 
cursors of  the  Burgomasters  and  Schepens,  and  of  a  Muni- 
cipal form  of  government  in  the  city  of  New  Amsterdam.

BURGOMASTEES  A:^D  SCHErENS. 

New  Amsterdam, 

These  functionaries  succeeded  the  Nine  men  on  the  Incor- 
poration of  the  city  of  New  Amsterdam.  They  were  ap- 
pointed by  the  Director  General  and  Council  until  January, 
1656,  when,  on  petition,  they  were  allowed  for  the  first  time 
the  privilege  of  nominating  and  submitting  a  double  number 
to  the  Director  and  Council,  from  which  the  latter  were  to 
select  the  members  of  the  Board  for  the  ensuing  year  ;  but 
"when  the  nomination  was  made,  it  was  resolved  on  the  2d  of 
February,  by  the  Director  and  Council,  "for  concord  and 
harmony's  sake,"  some  of  those  nominated  having  rendered 
themselves,  by  former  disputes,  unacceptable  to  the  autho- 
rities, to  continue  the  present  Burgomasters  and  Schepens 
for  another  year,  and  only  to  supply  the  vacancies  in  the 
Board  of  Schepens  by  the  nomination  of  two  respectable 
persons.  The  nomination  of  their  successors  was  not  con- 
ceded until  1658.  The  incumbents  entered  office  on  2d 
February  of  each  year,   unless  otherwise  stated.

ORPIIAK  MASTERS. 

Neio  Amsterdam, 

The  Deacons  of  the  Church  were  considered  the  Guardians 
of  Widows  and  Orphans.  On  the  death  of  either  a  man  or  a 
woman,  leaving  children,  (Iiey  were  bound  to  notify,  through 
the  Clerk  of  the  church,  the  decease  to  the  Director  and 
Council,  and  afterwards  in  1G53  to  the  Burgomasters,  who 
were  ex  officio  Orphan  Masters,  and  to  »pply  for  the  appoint- 
ment of  Curators,  unless  the  Orphan  Court  was  specially 
excluded  by  the  will  of  the  deceased.  The  Burgomasters, 
who  were  burdened  with  many  other  duties,  were  subse- 
quently relieved  of  the  oflSce  of  Orphan  Masters  at  their 
own  request,  and  persons  specially  appointed  to  discharge 
such  duties.  But  the  Burgomasters,  notwithstanding,  occa- 
sionally acted  in  the  absence  of  tlie  proper  Orphan  Masters. 
The  number  of  the  latter  at  first  was  two,  but  this  was  in- 
creased in  1658,  to  three,  "as  the  business  of  the  Court  was 
largely  augmented,  in  consequence  of  the  great  mortality 
that  year."  The  legal  powers  and  jurisdiction  of  the  Court 
are  very  fully  set  forth  in  Rooseboorii's  liccucil,  Chap.  28.

yE:N^DUE  MASTERS. 

This  office  and  its  perquisites  belonged,  ex  officio,  to  the 
Provincial  Secretary,  who  performed  its  duties  Tby  Deputy. 
After  the  organization  of  a  municipal  government  for  New 
Amsterdam,  a  question  arose  as  to  whether  the  City  Clerk,  or 
the  Secretary  of  the  Province  was  Vendue  Master  within  the 
City  limits.  It  was  then  adjudged  by  the  Supreme  Court,  that 
the  sale  of  property,  both  real  and  personal,  under  judgment 
of  the  Director  and  Council,  belonged  to  the  Secretary  of  the 
Province,  or  his  Deputy  Vendue  Master.  The  City  Clerk  was 
Vendue  Master  to  the  Court  of  Orphans,  and  in  cases  where 
judgment  had  been  rendered  by  the  Court  of  Burgomasters 
and  Schepens.

PHYSICIANS  AND  SURGEONS. 

The  first  members  of  tlie  Medical  profession  in  New  Nether- 
land  were,  of  course,  Ship  Surgeons  who  practised  on  shore 
whilst  their  vessels  lay  in  port.  Some  of  these  settled  at  the 
Manhattans  and  eked  out  a  subsistence  by  being  sometimes 
employed  by  the  government.  The  following  extract  from 
the  Dutch  Records,  illustrates  the  state  of  the  Profession  in 
those  days: 

"  1652,  February  2.  On  the  petition  of  the  Chirurgeons  of 
New  Amsterdam,  that  none  but  they  alone  be  allowed  to 
shave ;  the  Director  and  Council  nnderstand  that  Shaving 
doth  not  appertain  exclusively  to  Chirurgery,  but  is  an  ap- 
pendix thereunto  ;  that  no  man  can  be  prevented  operating 
on  himself,  nor  to  do  another  this  friendly  act,  provided  it  be 
through  courtesy  and  not  for  gain,  which  is  hereby  forbidden." 
It  was  then  further 

Ordered,  That  Ship-Barbers  shall  not  be  allowed  to  dress 
any  wounds,  nor  administer  any  potions  on  shore,  without 
the  previous  knowledge  and  special  consent  of  the  Petitioners, 
or  at  least  of  Doctor  La  Montague. 

This  is  the  earliest  order  on  record  regulating  the  Practice 
of  Medicine  in  the  State.  In  1658,  Messrs.  Kierstede,  Var- 
revanger  and  L'Oragne  were  the  only  Surgeons  in  New 
Amsterdam.

MATROJT  OF  THE  ORPHAN^S. 

SENT   FROM    AMSTERDAM. 

1654.  Immetje  Cornells. 

*  A  supply  of  drugs  was  sent  from  Holland  in  the  spring  of 
this  year,  for  an  English  Clergyman,  "versed  in  the  art  of 
Physick  and  willing  to  serve  in  the  capacity  of  Physician." 
The  Rev.  William  Leverich  is  supposed  to  be  the  Clergyman 
alluded  to.  He  had  sailed  in  October,  1660,  from  New  Am- 
sterdam for  Holland,  in  the  ship  Spotted  Cow,  and  returned 
in  the  fall  or  winter  of  1662.

MID  WIVES. 

Midwives  in  Holland,  before  being  licensed,  were  duly 
examined  by  a  board  of  Physicians.  One  of  such  licensed 
women  was  appointed  Midwife  to  a  Town  or  Village.  This 
custom  was  transferred  to  New  Netherland.

MATROI^  OF  THE  HOSPITAL.* 
1658  Dec.  23.  Hilletje  Wilburch. 

*  This  Hospital  was  established  at  the  request  of  Surgeon 
Hendricksen  Varrevanger  for  the  reception  of  sick  Soldiers, 
who  had  been  previously  billeted  on  private  families,  and  of 
the  Company's  Negroes,  who  were  left  destitute  in  case  of 
sickness.  It  was  the  first  Hospital  on  the  Island  of  Man- 
hattan.

SCHOOLMASTERS. 

••School-keeping  and  the  appointment  of  Schoolmasters 
depend  absolutely,"  say  the  Dutch  Records,  "from  the  Jus 
Patronatut,  and  require  a  License  from  the  Director  General 
and  Council."  In  New  Neiherland,  as  in  Holland,  Church 
and  State  were  intimately  allied,  and  the  office  of  Teaching 
thus  became,  in  some  respects,  semi-ecclesiastical.  The 
duties  of  the  Parochial  Schoolmaster,  as  set  forth  in  his  com- 
mission, were  to  promote  Religious  Worship,  to  read  a  portion 
of  the  Word  of  God  to  the  people,  to  endeavor  as  much  as 
possible  to  bring  them  up  in  the  ways  of  the  Lord,  to  con- 
sole them  in  their  Sickness  and  to  conduct  himself  with  all 
diligence  and  fidelity  in  his  calling,  so  as  to  give  others  a 
good  example,  as  becometh  a  devout,  pious  and  worthy  Con- 
soler of  the  Sick,  Church  Clerk,  Precentor  and  Schoolmaster,  \ 
in  which  capacities  all  persons,  without  distinction,  were  com-  / 
manded  to  acknowledge  him.  These,  however,  were  the 
duties  only  of  Teachers  of  Schools  belonging  to,  or  under 
Consistories  or  Churches,  or  who  were  appointed  to  Towns 
or  settlements  not  yet  provided  with  a  Minister.  Teachers 
of  Private  Schools,  though  necessarily  licensed,  were  not  / 
connected  officially  with  the  Church.  -^

GREAT  AND  SMALL  BURGHERS 


or 


NEW    AMSTERDAM, 


GREAT  AND  SMALL  BURGHERS. 


Conferring  special  privileges  on  Inhabitants  of  cotntnercial 
cities  is  an  offshoot  of  the  Roman  Law,  whereby  it  was  in- 
troduced info  Holland,  and  in  time  transplanted  to  NeT7 
Netherland.  Burgher  right  procured  for  the  citizen  Freedom 
of  trade,  Exemption  from  toll  and  from  being  sued  by  a 
fellow  burgher,  except  in  his  Burgh.  He  could  not  be  im- 
prisoned without  bail,  nor  tried  for  any  offense  after  the 
lapse  of  a  year.  He  was  saved  from  attaint  and  confiscation, 
if  found  guilty  on  a  capital  charge  ;  for  he  could  not  for  any 
crime  forfeit  more  than  his  life  and  one  liundred  guilders. 
Burgher  right  by  descent  or  inheritance  was  gained  only 
through  the  male  line.  Females  it  is  true,  might  be  Burghers, 
but  if  acquired  by  purchase,  the  right  was  vested  in  them 
only  whilst  Spinsters  or  Widows.  They  lost  it  if  they  married 
those  not  Burghers,  but  recovered  the  privilege  on  decease  of 
such  husband.  Neither  their  children  nor  those  of  Jewish 
Burghers  inherited  the  parent's  privilege. 

In  New  Netherland,  "  Great  Burghers"  only  could  fill  public    \ 
offices  and  enjoy  exemption  from  confiscation  and  attainder,     j 
if  convicted  of  a  capital  offense.     All  members  of  the  Council, 
all  Burgomasters  and  Schepc'ns.  all  Ministers  of  the  Gospel 
and  Commissioned   Officr^rs  of  Militia,  past  and  present,  with 
their   descendants  in  the    male  line,   were  declared  by  this 
Charter,  Grkat  Burgher.s.     Others   might  become  such  also 
on  payment  of  the  sum  of  Fifty  guilders  into  the  City  Trea-     ^ 
sury.
